In this episode of Yesterday's Indianapolis, I am joined by local historian DeeDee Davis to discuss an exhibit at the Irvington Historical Society which explores the photography of Indianapolis resident Osbert Sumner. The glass negatives for the photos were discovered under a stairway in a basement at Sumner's former home in Irvington and depict hundreds of scenes from around Indianapolis at the turn of the 20th century.

DeeDee, a historian with the Indianapolis City-County Archives and board member at the Irvington Historical Society, assisted with the identification and organization of these amazing images.
